I remember being so mad as a kid when this song suddenly got changed to "lets get it started" on the radio and no one would believe this was the real song
Had this argument today with a certified 'get it started' person. Turns out he approves of this song and I'm the moron who thought the other one was the only version.
I was at the special olympics once and they were playing "let's get it started". My friend laughed about the irony. I asked what irony? And that's how I found about this gem.
My uncle is mentally disabled and this has always been his absolute FAVORITE song! Every time we have a family event, I always make sure to request this song to get him up on the dance floor so he can dance his heart out. He gets so into it and we always love seeing him so happy. It's the best feeling. :)
I'll never forget in 5th grade my teacher would let 1 or 2 students each day play a song from a CD (remember those) they brought into class. Everyone was already familiar with "Lets get it started" but some kid in my class brought in THIS version on a CD and played it to the class it was pretty epic back then. Teacher definitely wasn't happy.
when i was in 5th grade ca 2010 we had music class where we showed our favorite songs and my friend the absolute mad lad meme lord chose this song. the teacher got so angry that even i got kicked out of class
@@mauricepritchardjr1574 You are kinda right! I found out about BEP when Fergie was still there and little did I know they were and are so much better without her.
It's mad! I'm glad people could interpret things in more than one way when this came out. Retarded literally just means: "less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age. very foolish or stupid." (-Google) That's exactly what happens to you when you're drunk or high 😂😂
@@Hotobu I think it's more like they separate themselves or maybe he just doesn't separate them. I don't know how retards are. I'm only partly retarded.

3:20 her soulfully spelling out “r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d” will never fail to make me crack up, she sings such a deeply unserious line SO SERIOUSLY. It sounds like she’s singing the breakdown to “Respect” but she’s very bad at spelling
i dont know, its not so unserious to hear a slur spelled out, its kinda fucked when discrimination against neurodivegent people is still socially acceptable, saying 'in this context theres no disrespect' is like saying "im not racist but"
@circleinforthecube5170 My man I'm sorry to break this to you but discrimination against retarded people makes sense. Because the perception that they're less intelligent and less capable isn't based on prejudice but reality. If you were hiring someone to be a crane operator and you didn't want to hire them because they were black, that would be wrong. If you didn't want to hire then because they were a woman, that would also be wrong. But if you didn't want to hire then because they were retarded, that's fine, because they're fucking retarded.
@@circleinforthecube5170 meh I've felt more discriminated by people who are performative in their being "woke" and "accepting" than by the black eyed peas doing a rhyme in a good song, they genuinely meant no harm
There is something poetic about the Black Eyed Peas making really thoughtful rap about current events and political issues, but not having it be very successful then for them to make this album with this song and it being a fucking hit
I mean the other stuff just doesn't hold the same groove to it. This song is something catchy that flows and just has its own unique flavor. Its much more powerful compared to their earlier stuff.
I kind of always thought there was something off about the radio rendition, I mean who says “let’s get it started and high” that made no sense to me, so when I found this I wasn’t surprised that they would have used the word retarded instead.
After reading the lyrics I actually quite like the song. It's about making a difference in the world and looking at it like a "retarded" person would. Considering that the term was still heavily acceptable at that time I don't see too much to be offended by, I'm not going to get offended by people using a term that, at the time, wasn't considered overly offensive. They changed it later to "Get It Started" in the 2004 re-release because that's when western society began to developmental disabilities seriously. Some of the lyrics mock people who make fun of disabilities or mental illnesses. So so the song's honestly a celebration of our differences that actively mocks those that make fun of us. I have autism by the way.

@@coolbeans78 It's a reference to the book 1984. The book is about authoritarianism and control. Censorship is an important part of the story, so people have often equated real life media censorship to what they imagine George Orwell's 1984 is about. So much so that the phrase "this is literally 1984" has become a meme. Hope this helps
Some white girl: *explaining in 10,000 sentences why this song is offensive to mentally disabled people* Me: *debating on when to tell her I’m autistic*
@Hoosayne sure about certain topics, but I really doubt the majority of Black people care about trans people or wanting to turn America into a anarchist/communist country
i have not been in this situation yet even though im autistic, but my autistic friend called some girl retarded because she pretended to be mexican on twitter by saying "ola" instead of "hola" (the thing is, it wasnt even a typo she actually thought it was spelt like that)
This actually played for a special needs assembly but they were supposed to have the other version. 🤦♂️ FYI this is not a joke. A mutual friend was the teacher that had to set it up and the wrong one was played.
Can we please bring this version back? As an autistic woman, Matt Rife has a valid point. Let’s bring the word back in a positive way. Let’s loosen up and return to 2003 when us perfect 42 year old women were in our stupid prime time party phase w/ undiagnosed Autism ❤❤❤
Millions of mentally disabled people commit self-harm or worse each day over the mere existence of the R word. Nobody even calls them that word and they still do it anyway. It's THAT hurtful. Yet everyone is still throwing it around like it's not. Are you saying others don't have the right to get offended by that injustice? We don't tolerate this mindset of yours. Drop it now.
@@sebastiansprucer7609 if you seriously self harm because of a simple word then you never experienced any kind of real hardship in your life and are probably so privileged that you think someone making fun of you is akin to abuse. I'm an adult with Asperger's syndrome and ADHD, both make my social and college life extremely difficult and caused me depression in more than one occasion, but it definitely wasn't because someone i don't know said a mean word to me.
@@v0rtexbeater So basically, you don't care that millions of mentally disabled people, some even under the same spectrum as yours, even attempted suicide because hundreds of insensitive minds casually threw that awful slur around expecting them to just tolerate it as if it's not. FYI, the so-called "simple word" IS abuse. Suppose you were a Jew and someone displayed the Nazi Swastika everywhere they went. How would you feel? Wouldn't feel good, would it? You'd get angry at them too. Having Asperger's and ADHD is not an excuse to be a self-centered jerk. Please think about others instead of yourself all the time.
@@sebastiansprucer7609 No, i dont care really, especially because you pulled that statistic out of thin air, there's no way in hell "millions" of people self harm or kill themselves because of the mere existence of a word. And it's not being self centered, it's called being mature and not getting hung up on things that literally do no tangible harm to anyone, I have real issues to worry about, not a simple word.
@@v0rtexbeater "Simple word"? Just like how the Nazi Swastika is a "simple symbol"? You just admitted to not caring about how hurtful that awful slur is to others, which FYI, IS a "real issue", which you're evidently underestimating. That's self-centered behavior.
If you look at the direction black eyed peas took, they actually turned their music step by step into retarded shit. This was the end of their real side.
Arguing with my girlfriend about this song, she's saying let's get retarded isn't the original version of the song, that let's get it started is the original.
This is the original. I had the album. Let’s Get It Started was the “clean” version, which then blew up. They eventually started printing the album with Let’s Get It Started instead of this one.
They tried to bite off the Bay Area lol it failed. The music in the bay at the time would have words like “get crazy, stupid, dumb, retarded” an actual line from the Federation feat. E-40 on a song called Hyphy. Black Eyed Peas used to record at 17 Hertz Studio in Hayward so they thought maybe they could get away with it? Lol didn’t work out too well.

“Bob your head like epilepsy” as someone with ADHD and epilepsy, I think this song just became my new anthem.
My jaw dropped when I heard that line. Lol. There is no way this song would fly now.
Same bro ADHD and Epilepsy one hell of a combo
@@mhs2007 It didn't really fly in 2003 either, which is why it was changed and remixed for the radio. The remix version is better musically anyway.
i have JME i mf love that line

Thank you GangsterHits for uploading the gangster hit "Let's Get Retarded" by the unfathomably gangster Black Eyed Peas
UnIronically better than “Let’s get it started”

I mean all the other lyrics....make so much more sense here
i just now found out that this was the original lol
It reminds me of my generation
Both, both is good.
I always heard the clean version that goes "Lets get it started", what a life changing experience.
@MemerL It was for the radio, it ended up being a bigger hit than the original.
I thought I made some type of false memory about this song's original lyrics being "get retarded" instead of "get it started" but today I learned I was always right 😂😂

1984
@@jeraldjoyce2995 what about that year?
@@coolbeans78 It's a reference to the book 1984. The book is about authoritarianism and control. Censorship is an important part of the story, so people have often equated real life media censorship to what they imagine George Orwell's 1984 is about. So much so that the phrase "this is literally 1984" has become a meme.

i have not been in this situation yet even though im autistic, but my autistic friend called some girl retarded because she pretended to be mexican on twitter by saying "ola" instead of "hola" (the thing is, it wasnt even a typo she actually thought it was spelt like that)

Can we please bring this version back? As an autistic woman, Matt Rife has a valid point. Let’s bring the word back in a positive way. Let’s loosen up and return to 2003 when us perfect 42 year old women were in our stupid prime time party phase w/ undiagnosed Autism ❤❤❤

"In this context there's no disrespect". I love how the very first line already addresses certain people who love to get offended by everything.
Millions of mentally disabled people commit self-harm or worse each day over the mere existence of the R word. Nobody even calls them that word and they still do it anyway. It's THAT hurtful. Yet everyone is still throwing it around like it's not. Are you saying others don't have the right to get offended by that injustice? We don't tolerate this mindset of yours. Drop it now.
@@sebastiansprucer7609 if you seriously self harm because of a simple word then you never experienced any kind of real hardship in your life and are probably so privileged that you think someone making fun of you is akin to abuse.
I'm an adult with Asperger's syndrome and ADHD, both make my social and college life extremely difficult and caused me depression in more than one occasion, but it definitely wasn't because someone i don't know said a mean word to me.
@@v0rtexbeater So basically, you don't care that millions of mentally disabled people, some even under the same spectrum as yours, even attempted suicide because hundreds of insensitive minds casually threw that awful slur around expecting them to just tolerate it as if it's not. FYI, the so-called "simple word" IS abuse. Suppose you were a Jew and someone displayed the Nazi Swastika everywhere they went. How would you feel? Wouldn't feel good, would it? You'd get angry at them too. Having Asperger's and ADHD is not an excuse to be a self-centered jerk. Please think about others instead of yourself all the time.
@@sebastiansprucer7609 No, i dont care really, especially because you pulled that statistic out of thin air, there's no way in hell "millions" of people self harm or kill themselves because of the mere existence of a word.
And it's not being self centered, it's called being mature and not getting hung up on things that literally do no tangible harm to anyone, I have real issues to worry about, not a simple word.
@@v0rtexbeater "Simple word"? Just like how the Nazi Swastika is a "simple symbol"? You just admitted to not caring about how hurtful that awful slur is to others, which FYI, IS a "real issue", which you're evidently underestimating. That's self-centered behavior.
Timeless classic.

Truly an special song
"An specal" - now I see you can relate to the song title.
Arguing with my girlfriend about this song, she's saying let's get retarded isn't the original version of the song, that let's get it started is the original.
This is the original. I had the album. Let’s Get It Started was the “clean” version, which then blew up.
They eventually started printing the album with Let’s Get It Started instead of this one.
There's 2 version this is the " *explicit* " version but like the dude above me said they made a cleaner version for the radio which blew up quicker
Just tell her why tf would they make the song with the word retarded after the clean version. That makes no sense.
They tried to bite off the Bay Area lol it failed. The music in the bay at the time would have words like “get crazy, stupid, dumb, retarded” an actual line from the Federation feat. E-40 on a song called Hyphy. Black Eyed Peas used to record at 17 Hertz Studio in Hayward so they thought maybe they could get away with it? Lol didn’t work out too well.
